Skinner: "Posting spoilers in thread titles isn't cool."

Skinner is right. Posting spoilers is wrong. I am DVR'ing the election. It's BS to post "Warren Wins." I am watching it later.

Posting spoilers in thread titles isn't cool. If you want to be considerate of others, don't post them in our thread titles. And if you want to be super considerate, you should put a spoiler warning in your thread title.

HAVING SAID THAT, If you are someone who wants to avoid seeing spoilers, you should not be hanging out on a public message board or other social media. Because chances are that someone is going to post a spoiler, and you are going to see it.

It's just common courtesy and common sense.

I was thinking of that the other day when I knew I'd be here, slaving away over books and studying my ass off for a very difficult midterm exam. I was wondering if there was any way I could relive election night AFTER my midterm was over, lol and I thought about the spoiler thread from the Olympics and if I could use that to my advantage, lol!
